Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1 Severity: normal
I am using testing, and my net connection is bad quality (WLAN). So it happens quite regularly that the testing/main Packages.gz is fetched with some error in it (and a file size that is too big). Then gzip fails (which ruins the display, but that is not the point). Now when I try to update the package list again, aptitude doesn't replace the Packages.gz that's already there (probably because it is up to date, and the download didn't abort with an error). Instead, it tries gzip again, which fails again. My practical solution is to wait a few days, until the Packages.gz is no more up to date, and hope it goes right that time. It would be a better solution if aptitude fetched every package list that has not been succesfully updated.
